AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Franklin Mint / House of Fabergé – “The Annunciation” Nativity Egg – Limited Edition – 24k Gold-Plated Stand – Hand-Painted

A stunning and highly decorative Fabergé-style egg titled “The Annunciation”, issued by Franklin Mint in collaboration with the House of Fabergé.

This exceptional collector’s piece beautifully depicts the biblical Annunciation scene, featuring the Virgin Mary and an angel in a finely sculpted and hand-painted composition. The deep blue enamel-style exterior, adorned with delicate golden star accents, gives the egg a particularly elegant and luxurious appearance.

The interior scene is crafted with remarkable attention to detail, bringing the Nativity theme to life and making this piece a true highlight for collectors of religious art and fine decorative objects.

The egg is made of high-quality porcelain (Tesori porcelain), enamel-finished on the outside, and is mounted on an ornate 24k gold-plated stand, including a finely detailed 24k gold-plated top finial, which further enhances its prestigious and collectible character.

This piece is part of a highly desirable series of 12 eggs, each representing important moments in the life of Jesus, making it especially appealing for collectors seeking to complete or build a full set.

This example is a limited edition and is individually numbered on the base, making it particularly valuable for collectors.

The condition is vintage (nearly 40 years old), exactly as shown in the photos. The tip has been re-glued at some point. We will certainly be able to pack the item using a "box-in-box" method; however, we cannot rule out the possibility that the tip might come loose during transit. Should this occur, we ask that you be prepared to reattach it yourself using two drops of glue. After all, the object is nearly 40 years old—and as such, we are unable to estimate the age of the adhesive.

Highly sought after among collectors, particularly in categories such as Fabergé egg, Franklin Mint collectibles, House of Fabergé, Nativity egg, religious art, Christmas collectibles, limited edition eggs, enamel eggs, gold-plated objects, and luxury decorative collectibles.

All photos of this enchanting object were painstakingly taken by us and are part of the description.
